The old maxim is true: sometimes it is not just what you say, it is how you say it. One of the great problems in the Christian community today is a general inability to communicate effectively without polarizing or driving people away. Sometimes the greatest problem is the seeming inability of many Christians to learn the truth of another old maxim: silence is golden. For God’s Sake, Shut Up!, by Communications Specialist Brian Kaylor, offers numerous insights for Christian leaders and followers who desire to share their beliefs in more meaningful and effective ways.

Brian Kaylor serves as communications specialist for the Baptist General Convention of Missouri, and his writings have appeared in various Christian publications. He is a doctoral student in communication at the University of Missouri, where he also teaches undergraduate communication courses.
